Amyschi Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Hello, Just wanted to post a question to those who may be on acid-blocker medications with stomach issues (either H2 blockers or PPI, or even others such as antacids or sulcrafate if you have experience with those) and any side effects and ability to tolerate. Looking for one that may be easier to take. Thank you for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 I have used Tums before when i would get a acidity stomach or acid reflux. just not very often or long term. what i have done was to identify the foods that spark a flare up. most are acidic foods like tomatoes or sauce, salsa and drinks like lemonade or some of the sports drinks that use sorbic acid even the hydration drinks will do it. Mike hard lemonade is the worst for me. never again. My doc has listed some of these as a food intolerance on my chart. Something to consider if you have not already.

Water Lover Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 I’ve been on Pantoprazole for a year and have never experienced any side effects. Before getting switched to that I did a couple of weeks on omeprazole, which seemed to be causing headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a relative that has GERD's and it is not because of dysautonomia. she does elevate the head of the bed to help out. i do not recommend wedge pillows as they are a bit problematic.
